So yesterday at Dancu, Maria was working again. She wasn’t in a hooorrible mood like the other day, but she just didn’t seem as warm and happy as she usually was before. The kids were fairly good. Nothing too different with them. They were just normal. We got the worst soup though. The gas was out because someone was working on it, but Maria gave us cold soup anyway. She also decided to just stick the piece of bread in there, so it was reeeeally gross and soggy and the soup was bad anyway. The good thing was she left a plate full of animal crackers, which were really good and which we were basically fighting for. We also didn’t get to feed the kids. Afterward we went to the hospital and I started off with Marta. I was with her for a good 2 hours and she slept pretty soundly the whole time. That wouldn’t be great normally, but I’d forgotten my book and was actually pretty bored. Just at the very end I went in with Iulia who already had Shannon and Holly in there. After the hospital, Shannon and I got in another argument over our creative differences, among other things and were all mad at each other, because, well, it’s Thursday. We always get mad at each other on Thursday. We stopped by the apartment real quick on the way to Tirgu Cucu to get food and my book before taking the tram with Melissa and Jenna to Dacie. Dacie was really good this time. I got some good bonding time in with all the kids and felt like I actually had fun, which makes me think they did too. They all loooove to do my hair and I loooove how Costica just loves to cuddle. It melts my heart away. After Dacie, Jenna and I left before Mel and Shannon and went straight to the Villa. We looked pretty funny because I was wearing a skirt with socks and sneakers and Jenna still had her hair in pigtails from the kids doing it. Nevertheless, we still had guys trying to hit on us on the tram. I was turned around, talking to Jenna the entire time, and the guy in front of me just kept trying to get me to talk to him even though I never even looked at him once. It’s so funny that I know like so little words/phrases here and one of them is “get away from me!” Anyway, finally we got to the red bridge, where you get off to walk to the villa. That night was going to be Catalin’s baptism, but when we got there they were still just playing games. I sat down and played phase ten with those who were there for a while and had a good time. I sat next to Elder Hackett and talked to him and really just had a fabulous time. I love that kid. The baptism was actually really fabulous. Everyone was crying and it was one of those times when I wished that I was the kind that cries easier. After the baptism ended I was really just ready to go home and was a little frustrated that it took so long to do so. After we got home, something one of the roommates did really made me upset (not gonna say what or who online!) and Shannon knew I was upset, so she came over and did a very good job of comforting me and then I just finished writing in my journal and went off to bed.
